CTTL Thoughts by Peter McBride https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo What did you hear this week that you would like to build on in the coming school year with the entire LS faculty. AND/OR What questions do you still have? en-us 2021-07-22 13:46:46 UTC 2025-11-03 10:48:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9d0.png https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1662134316 As an early childhood educator, it's important to remember that development happens in a child's own way/time. The "a-ha" moment happens for everyone at a different time (whether it's learning to read, write, solve math problems)

Growth mindset should be a daily practice -- instill at a young age that will carry on with them through their whole lives.\

I am excited to begin building a library of retrieval grids as part of our Orton Gillingham program at FHCDS for both whole group and small group settings. https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1662323319
Additionally, I was encouraged by the multisensory and language acquisition programming that we currently use for reading instruction. It was encouraging to me that we are using best practice methodology to support all of our students when it comes to reading.  ]]> 2021-07-27 17:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1662323319 My take away was that spatial reasoning helps with math learning. I plan on having a spatial reasoning center this year and adding some materials to help in this area. https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1667963922 2021-08-03 15:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1667963922 One of my biggest reminders was the importance of prior knowledge and making connections to the students' daily lives - knowing the difference between "real world" and "their world". I also have to be mindful of my students' cognitive load and think of creative ways to reduce their working memory needs. ldouglas45 https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1674555990 2021-08-10 20:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pmcbride3/l9y6aqlkxcq6pzzo/wish/1674555990
